I thought it might be interesting to follow up on the families and some of the young people that Sadie mentioned in her diary and find what became of them. The Joseph ROUMEY Family - Louisa ROUMEY married Jonathan "Daunt" METCALFE. They farmed on the 14th Con. of Greenock and later retiring to Cargill. They had one adopted daughter, Florence METCALFE. John ROUMEY married Rebecca ALEXANDER and farmed on the 12th Con. of Brant before retiring to Eden Grove. They had no family. Samuel ROUMEY went to Manitoba and there married Mae MORE. They farmed in the West Hall district and retired in Hartney. They had no family. Eliza Jane "Bess" ROUMEY was married to George SAWYER and lived on the 14th Con, of Greenock before going to Manitoba and later to Saskatchewan where they farmed in the Wiseton area. They had a family of two sons and one daughter. William ROUMEY and his wife Maud PARKER farmed in Brant Twp. They had two sons, the first son died shortly after birth. Sadie ROUMEY met her husband Alex CAMERON while working in Toronto. After they were married they moved to the U.S.A, where a son and daughter were born. Sadie died following the birth of the daughter and Alex brought the baby back to Canada for her grandparents to raise. Ida ROUMEY married Elmer GREGG in January 1923, who with his partner Mel REID operated a general store in Honeywood. After Elmer's death less than two years after their marriage Ida returned to the Roumey farm with an infant son and Sadie CAMERON and cared for her widowed father until his death in 1931. Ida purchased the farm and lived there until ill health forced her into a nursing home. |
